Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (1d3dcf3) - Mac 10.7.5.


Comments

This remains one of the few shortcomings in MuseScore for which I have yet to find an acceptable workaround. Does anybody know of any way to fake the broken ties in a way that looks correct? I'd like to be able to create my final engravings using MuseScore rather than Finale, but I do not want to publish sheet music with ties running through key/time signatures.

As a fix for this most probably is "just" the rendering and won't change ther file format, it might even be possible to fix it for 2.0.4 too?

Regression No
Workaround Yes

Indeed. Workaround that didn't exiat originally is to add an opaque white graphic at a stacking order that covers the tie but not another elements. A little testing suggests 1100 is good.
